We challenged chefs of three different skill levels – amateur Emily, home cook Beth, and professional chef Chris Scott from the Institute of Culinary Education – to make us their best chicken parmesan recipe. Once each level of chef had presented and tasted their creations, we asked expert food scientist Rose to explain the choices each made along the way. Which chicken parm are you picking for Sunday dinner?

Honestly the only thing I'd say for the level one chef is to avoid olive oil and butter. Both are low smoke points and burn easily and so you won't be able to get a crispy enough breading.
we need to get rid of emily L lvl 1 chef
I think my son is one of Beth's grandchildren. I love that she doesn't add green things just for them.
Beth is a Nonna. No doubt about it
Level 1 & 2 are my choices! Forget Level 3 (the supposed “pro”) …… wouldn’t touch his at all!
I might be lvl 0 chef cause if u ask me I’d just say, put it in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius for idk.. we will seee 😂
Beth is very disrespectful
when did Emily become level 2? in a current episode for chips and queso she is level 2
professional chef wearing gloves, works with the raw meat, then proceeds to touch basically every single foodcontainer and the blender as well xD
If everyone had a grandma like beth the world would be a better place
Beth is the only one who actually made chicken parm. Fantastic
I love thisnlevel 4 chef. So far there are no 24 hours/ 2 days later etc recipes.
I know a fellow New Yorker…maybe even a fellow Long Islander… When I see one
I love the way Beth says "sauce" s2
I'm so proud of Emily, look how far my babygirl's come
I really didn't think I could like Emily more But now I stand corrected! 😍
Just one of these days I want to watch a chicken parmesan video with a Teessider in the middle of the Americans using bechamel instead of tomato sauce 😂
I'm so glad we got Saul, because Chris just insults newer chefs. Saul is much nicer. And Emily got promoted lol.
Lets be honest here – anyone coming here, looking for culinary tips, will be going for the level 2 chef. Emily is a culinary heretic, but the level 3 is far too much of a fussock with his preparation.
I would eat 2 and 3 on sight ❤
